To get to come and a very special for me to be here, too. So im very pleased. But im also a special place to be able to talk to you about these great women, because when i was a kid growing up, and even well into my time as an adult, i would look at all these stories from history and all these pictures and paintings and all the statues, and there were no women. And i start to think maybe there werent any women there. There. What do you think . [laughter] do you think of any women around the time of the aggression mac and the constitution and all that . You do . You think there were actual women . Probably. I did start to think about and thought adam and eve, there were women than. Although my favorite Bumper Sticker is eve was framed. So of course living here and growing a. No, i did go to mount vernon all the time, so i did know that there was somebody named Martha Washington. But that was about it.

From continued conflict in the southeast so that the nations army could instead focus its energies on subduing the Indian Tribes of the ohio river, north of the ohio river in an effort to expand the nations borders further west. Now, this treaty that was negotiated in 1790, the treaty of new york, it was celebrated by many, Many Americans, most americans thought this was a very good idea. But there were some who didnt. And many of those who did not agree with it were georgiaens. Particularly those men who lived in this area in the appalachians. Now, you remember we talked about the proclamation of 1763 which had drawn the line down the Appalachian Mountains and mandated that settlers could not move to the western side of the appalachians. Well, some of the folks who were most in favor of creating a new nation so they could push west of the appalachians were indeed these same farmers from georgia. Now, in exchange for peace, president washington had given up claims to land that were inc
Differences, what we read for today is its clearly not the case. What we see is in the 1790s, many of the divisions, many of the concerns that people who viewed the constitution in these folks came to see this still as a problem in the 1790s. The ratification of the constitution did not do away with these divisions. Instead they continued to manifest themselves. And we can see them manifest themselves in a variety of ways. Were going to talk about three ways today that are two clear examples. Examples that highlight the ways in which certain individuals, american citizens decided that they were going to rebel against the constitution and the federal government. In the 1790s we see two examples where rebels decided perhaps they decide to try to form their own more perfect union, their own country. One of these events takes place, or both of them take place in 1794. The first of them that were going to discuss is the whiskey rebellion, which takes place in 1794 in pennsylvania. As well d
Haunt them. Instead of protecting them against the indians, it was enabling the federal governments to prevented them from coming on to indian lands. It seemed to be they had made a bad bargain. They were quite alarmed at what had taken place. Of all the georgians it was the residents of the back country who were most upset at the treaty of new york and the federal governments actions. They lashed out at the decision and even began to question whether they wanted to remain citizens of a nation that they felt had abandoned them in their time of need. Thousands of settlers chose to ignore the terms of treaty and poured across the boundary, across the oconee river to the creek indians land. This prompted creek warriors to attack. And the result was frequent bloodshed and violence as the two groups launched raid after raid after counterraid. As growing numbers of settlers suffered at the hands of creek warriors, the settlers looked to the federal government for protection but none was fort
